I Sarah Blake of the town of Westbrook in the County of Cumberland and State of Maine, aged seventy five years, testify and say that Thomas Frank late of the town of Grey in said County of Cumberland, deceased, was my brother and that he lived in the town of Falmouth, at the time he enlisted and went into the revolutionary war and also after the war was closed for several years. I further say that soon after the close of the war of the revolution my brother the said Thomas Frank was married to Hannah Pride, by Squire Samuel Freeman a justice of the Peace, in said Falmouth at the house of her father William Pride. I cannot now remember the day, month, or year in which my brother and she were married, but I know it was within two years from the close of the war; I think he returned home in the spring of the year after he was discharged from service and was married in the fall of the same year. My brother Thomas Frank, from the time of his said marriage with the said Hannah, continued to live with her until the time of his death, a few years since, the year I do not recollect. They had several children and I think twelve, and according to the best of my recollection, their oldest daughter is

more than fifty years old. I do not now re- collect any persons, who were present at the wed- ding of my said brother and who are now living, except my brother John Frank, who resides in Sumner in the county of Oxford & State of Maine, Mr. John Pider, Joseph Pider & his wife and Nathan Pider and his wife, who all live in Westbrook a- foresaid. I think they were all present —
I further say that the said Hannah Frank is still the widow of Thomas Frank, and that she has not been married since his death.

I John Pride of Salisbury Westbrook in the county of Cumberland & State of Maine aged sixty six years testify and say that I was present and saw Thomas Frank married to my sister Hannah Pride; that they were married by a man that they called Squire Freeman; the wedding was at my father's house, and it was when I was about ten years old; I am not able to remember the day month or year, when they were married, but it was when I was quite a small boy, and I think I was not at that time more than ten or eleven years old. They had several children and I should think the oldest was fifty years old or more. They lived in Falmouth several years after they were married and then they moved to and lived in Gray, where they continued to live together until his death. My said sister Hannah Frank is still the widow of said Thomas Frank, and she has never been married since his death. I do not re- collect any person, now living, who was present at the wedding, except some of my family, some of my family, & think Nathan Pride was there, but am not certain.

J. L. Edwards, Esq.
Comm ee of Pensions,
Sir, I send accompany- ing this the declaration of Hannah Frank, the widow of Thomas Frank late of Gray, deceased, in order to obtain for her the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed July 7. 1838, entitled "An Act granting half pay and pensions to certain widows" - and also evidence of the marriage of the said Thomas & Hannah - It will be perceived that there is a dis- crepancy in Mrs Frank's recollection of the time of her marriage as stated in declaration and the time of the marriage as shown by the record of it, in the town books of Halmouth; but there can be no ground of doubt that Mrs Frank is the widow of said Thomas Frank and that she was married to him after his services in the war of the revolution were performed and before the 18 th of Jan y . 1774. I send the letter from the War Department mentioned in her declaration:- The evidence of the services of her late husband, Thomas Frank, will be found in the Pension Office and it is presumed will be abundantly satisfactory & sufficient to establish the old lady's claim to a full pension, or the highest sum allowed in such cases - Any certificate that may be issued, from the Department for her, may be sent to me.

That she is the widow of Thomas Frank , who was a private soldier in the war of the revolution; that he enlisted as she has often heard him say, at first, for three years, and at the time of his enlistment he resided in the town of Falmouth , in said County of Cumberland ; that, after serving the three years for which he enlisted, as she has heard her late husband say, he took the place of another soldier, whose name she does not know, and served for the remainder of the war, and was then honorably discharged, as he often said, and as she fully believes; the evidence of his discharge has been lost. As she was married to the said Thomas Frank after the services in the war were performed & she has no paper by which she can ascertain the dates of his enlistments or the names of the officers under whom he served, she is not able to state them; but she has repeatedly heard him say that he served in the Massachusetts line and that he served in the whole about seven years, and she knows that for his said services in the revolutionary Army her late husband the said Thomas Frank received a pension, from the United States by virtue of the act of Congress passed in the year eighteen hundred and eighteen, of the sum of ninety six dollars per year & that he continued to receive the same until the time of his death, October 11. 1831: she has now in her possession a letter from the War Department N o . 7894, dated July 15. 1820, signed by J. L. Edwards, directed to Thomas Frank her late husband, notifying him that the schedule of his property had been examined & that the Secretary of War had directed his name to be continued on the Pension Roll. She cannot state what battles he was in or the country through which he marched, but she believes there is satisfactory evidence of her said husband's services in the Pension Office & that she refers. She further declares, that she was married to the said Thomas Frank
on the
day of July
in the year seventeen hundred and eighty four and that her husband, the aforesaid Thomas Frank died on the eleventh day of October A. D. 1831, that she was not married to him prior to his leaving the service, but the marriage took place previous to the first of January, seventeen hundred and ninety-four, viz: at the time above stated.
